a message from moveon.org
Last week, congressional Republicans responded to hurricane Katrina by proposing to cut nearly a trillion dollars from vital national services, like health care for the poor and elderly, student loans, Amtrak, and eliminating the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (again!). [1] Republican leaders in Congress are now gauging the public’s response to see if they can get away with their plan. We need to show them the answer is no.
The cost of rebuilding the Gulf Coast, while huge, is far less than what President Bush has given away in tax cuts to just the wealthiest 1% [2]. National crises like Hurricanes Rita and Katrina are times for all Americans to stick together and put in our fair share.
So today we're launching an urgent petition to Congress to fully rebuild the Gulf Coast and pay for it by ending Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy, not by slashing vital services that Americans need. If we can gather a quarter million signatures this week, we can show that this destructive plan just won’t fly.
Please sign today.
this is the proposal made by the Republican Study Committee, if you want to see for yourself:
these people are insane.

shitty
so i was driving home thursday bc my classes were cancelled on friday and i had a dr apt friday too. so im just past ypsi and all the sudden my engin is reving and my spedometer is slowing going down, so of course in my head i am thinking, "awesome". so i coast off 94 at the next exit.....metro airport, which makes me think "awesome" again. so i roll into a parkinglot which just happened to be a post office and call my mom. she comes and picks me up and we go home. the next morning her boss has one of his buddies go pick up my car with his tow truck and brings it back to the scs area. the guy in the shop calls my mom up and tells her that my car is basically dead, it woudlbe pointless to put any work into it because in the next month or so there are a few other things that are gonna crap out anyway. when im told this, once more "awesome" goes through the head...
so now i have to get a car, but i have no money and neither does my mom or grandma, so i have to get an auto loan, which means i will have to make car payments every month which means i will literally have like $20 to spend on having a life ie: anything that i want to do i cannot do. so im sorry to say that if you want to hang out with me, you will either have to come get me, or hang out in boring ass albion and do things that cost no money because i will have none.
on another note the lock-in was alright, it wasnt quite what i was expecting it to be, but that might also be because i was a little on the down side from the past events of the weekend and wasnt as energetic as i probably should have been.

you are lazy if you think discrimination and hate are natural, innate aspects of "human nature." you are lazy if you think there will always be rich people and there will always be poor people, and there's no way around it. you are lazy if you think right now is all that matters in the course of history, and past wrongdoings by your government are excusable because you weren't around when it happened. you are lazy if you don't want social justice for all people, whether you understand them or not. you are lazy if you think there is nothing you can do about anything. you are lazy and nothing else if you don't think change is possible.
change is imperative, my friends, and YOU are the ones in charge.

well my day has been excellent so far....worthy of posting even..
i had to wake up early to go to albion high school to help out in the special education class. i wake up and look at my computer and i have a message from derek saying "hey, what are you up to later tonight?" so already the day was looking good.
then im driving back from the high school and what comes on the radio? 500 miles! bonus number 2 and its only 10am!
Then my class is easy and flies by, and then after my pek exec. meeting we're going to set up a bank account for pek and we see a sign that says hungry howies pizza....3.99! so i was all over that, its fricken hungry howies.
Then the best part yet...i check my mail and i have a package....its from hilary's mom. so i open it up and whats in there....a book called "walter the farting dog"....along with the suffed animal walter who makes farting noises! one word can discribe that alone....amazing
then on top of all of that...i only had 1 class today because my team sports class was cancelled!
